The sponsor disclosed that for the concert, a set of China's top acoustics equipment, which is suited for a large-scale performance, would be delivered from Shanghai to solve the problem of acoustics in the People's Great Hall. At the same time, sound mixers had communicated with their American counterparts to overcome the lasting problem of difficult tuning in the hall.

Lang will also play a piano piece at the spring festival gala held by Central China Television later this month.
